I watched Riki Lakes documentary about labor and delivery in the US....I am shocked...i heard giving women the combination of the epidural and pitocin is resulting more and more in C- sections...this scares me....i don't want my child to go into cardiac problems because their blood flow is restricted due to the pitocin, and not be able to effectively push because of the Epidural???? has any one else had positive, or negative experiences with pitocin.......or a bad hospital experience?????? 

I had the epi, and pitocin. I had him natural and only pushed for 45 minutes. Everyone is different.

you don't necesarially have to get pitocin.....I had an epidurial and did not need any pitocin.

I had to be induce, I had to have pitocin, if you're not high risk or anything why are you worried about it?

Just last Tuesday when I delivered my daughter I had to get an emergency c-section because of pitocin.& I then had a horrible reaction to the epidural

I had a horrible experience with my induced labor. I was 39 weeks and had low amniotic fluid. The induction failed and it distressed th baby enough to pass meconium during my labor, when I had my c-section she had meconium aspiration and was in the NICU and I didn't get to see her for 10 hours. I will definately be avoiding pitocin next time if I have a vbac.

I've had to be induced al lthree times with my children due to one medical reason or another. Twice it was done with Pitocin. Both of my younger children were born healthy and rather easily. Granted, I didn't get an epidural, so maybe that's the difference.

i was induced ( with pitocin) had my epidural and ended up having an emergency c-section

My water broke and my contractions werent strong enough so they gave it to me it made my stomach so upset I vomited my whole labor it sucked

this is why i am worried...im afraid of the knife....im so soory to hear that  

I had both pitocin and an epidural with my first delivery.....and it went perfectly fine. Not a single complication.

I had pitocin at 8 cm when my labor stalledand no epi with my second. No complications except her prematurity. (obviously not from the pitocin, lol)

I had pitocin and no epi (spinal block is what I got) with my third and also no complications except those from prematurity. But she was also a c-section if that matters.

everything went fine afterwards.The baby great and besides back pain I'm fine.

I would get a C-section again actually

i was induced due to high bp and ad pitocin and an epidural and was only in labor for 8 1/2 hrs and pushed for 30 mins. they thought i would have to have a c section since i was only 1 cm to start with but i didn't. it hurt like a beyotch but thats to be expected. i think everyone is diff.

oh boy...im definitely not letting them stick me with that shit now.......

I had pitocin & an epidural w/ my first. I did a lot of research (I've seen that documentary as well) and decided to go completely drug free w/ my last 2 deliveries. I'm glad I did.
